• Ditto.
  
  
  
• Ditto.
  
  
  
• It's Run-Off Election Day.  We'll miss all of the commercials between these two.
  
• If you believe in prediction markets: 
  
  
  
• Cornyn's campaign says that a Paxton victory will set the stage for a Democratic victory in the Senate race this fall.   But, if this commercial (video) is what the GOP already has in the chamber, that's not happening. 
  
  
  
• He tried to make a joke at Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day. Video.
  
  
  
• Those "details" to be worked out regarding the Iran peace deal seem to be pretty big ones. From last night:

This issue/non-issue has been going on a long time.

• There sure seems to be an inordinate number of homes being damaged by lightning strikes these days.  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Number of graduating students on Friday night: 1,772.

• Bullets flew near the White House on Saturday.
  
  
• This reporter has been mocked for not automatically realizing she was hearing gun shots. Because in America, we should all recognize the sound of gunfire, right?  (She's been a good sport about it all.)
  
  
  
• Real estate news.
  
• Good. 
  
• There were all sorts or reports about a "settlement" with Iran over the weekend.  The reality is, Trump just wants to announce that it's done, declare it a victory, and move on. This is turning out to be a disaster with a stronger Iran who will come back to haunt us.  (And never forget we killed over 160 girls by bombing their school.)
  
  
  
  
  
  
• "Speed and efficiency."
